Query
Text that is a phrase or question that gets sent to OpenAI in order to receive a response.

Response
An answer to your query. Can either be text or an image.

Token
From OpenAI's website:
"You can think of tokens as pieces of words used for natural language processing. For English text, 1 token is approximately 4 characters or 0.75 words."
OpenAI charges you for the amount of tokens for the query and response, known as Completion Tokens. See here for OpenAI's current pricing information.

Prompt Tokens
The amount of tokens in a query.

Completion Tokens / Max Tokens
The maximum amount of tokens allowed in a response.

Total Tokens
The amount of tokens of the query and response. This is the amount of tokens you are charged by OpenAI.

Generation
A single response or collection of responses to a Query.

Temperature
The temperature controls how much randomness is in the response. If you want a simple response, keep the temperature at 0. If you want a lot of random but sensible words in the response, raise it. The temperature range is from 0 to 2, and allows fractions such as 0.5. A high temperature could be good for creative articles or even jokes.

Reason / Result Stop Reason
Reason why the job was stopped. "Stop" means end of the natural response. "Length" means it reached the max tokens length.

Quota
Amount of storage space on this site per a user. Our quota dynamically changes depending on overall usage but is usually around 128MB a user.
You can see your quota usage on the Settings page and on the Generations page.
